Henry, I don't think most people appreciate how far advanced LGND is with finding small molecules that interact with the transcription factors (or associated proteins) to mimic the effect of polypeptide hormones.

At its recent meeting with analysts, LGND indicated it was close to finding a small molecule mimic for interferon. It was emphasized there were still a few problems to solve, but they felt a compound is likely by sometime in 2000 which will, in turn, be in humans in 2001. Have you heard anything about this?

Regards,

Walter
